Four types of V2X application support in 3GPP  With the growth of mobile data and devices, cellular networks have great potential to support various vehicular communication services for safety and non-safety applications. This paper presents an overview of the 3GPP cellular vehicle-to-everything (V2X) standards. We discuss various aspects of V2X standards, including types of V2X application.

Methodologies to assess usability and safety of ADAS and automated vehicle In the framework of future innovation and for the sake of road safety, there is a great hope in fully supporting, or even replacing, the human driver by reliable technology. But, due to the novelty of this context, an important care will have to be devoted to investigate drivers' expectation, needs, behavior and functional abilities to reach this goal. In this context, this paper reviews several human factors issues related to partial and fully automated... [Lire la suite]

9 Ways the Connected Truck is Driving Fleet Efficiency Fleets can use the connectivity and computing power in their truck cabs to support applications and use cases that will improve business performance and increase customer satisfaction. Mobile devices can also drive down fleet costs in multiple ways, and with cost per mile averaging $1.38, shaving off a few pennies makes a fleet more competitive. Here’s a look at nine ways to benefit from a connected truck using an ELD package with the rugged Samsung Tab Active2. Save... [Lire la suite]

SAFERIDER European statistics show that Powered-Two-Wheelers (PTW) road accidents are extremely high. During the last decade, ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) and IN-VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (IVIS) development is one of the main research areas of the automotive industry. However, the application of such technologies in motorcycles and even clean motorbikes (electric) is currently lacking behind and should be undoubtedly studied further. Therefore the aim of SAFERIDER is to study the potential of ADAS/IVIS...

How cloud computing contributes to autonomous driving – a thought experiment. During his guest lecture at Stanford University, Dean Paron (Microsoft Azure) mentioned a fascinating argument about the importance of cloud computing which stayed present in my mind until now: The amount of data generated by an autonomous car is so high that cloud computing is one of the enablement factors which make autonomous driving in its current fashion possible. In this context, this blog post aims at creating an understanding of the storage of... [Lire la suite]

Connected vehicles will enhance traffic safety and efficiency et’s be quite clear about this, European road traffic safety policy is a success story! Road accident related fatalities have more than halved (2001- 2017), despite increasing traffic volumes. However, with 25,300 fatalities in 2017 a greater coordination of policy effort is needed for further significant reductions. Today’s advanced driver assistance functions have the ability to further reduce accidents by 30% in our estimation. Those functionalities include... [Lire la suite]

Improving Self-Driving Car Safety And Reliability With V2X Protocols A protocol that would help with self-driving cars is V2X or Vehicle-to-Everything. At the moment AI using machine learning techniques (deep learning) have been the focus of development for autonomous vehicle software. A communications protocol layer for self-driving cars can add further improvements for SAE Level 5 compliance. It is a protocol that supports V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian), V2H... [Lire la suite]

UPS has been quietly delivering cargo using self-driving trucks UPS has had autonomous trucking startup TuSimple hauling cargo for it between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, since May as part of a newly publicized partnership between the two companies. The delivery giant made the announcement today alongside the news that its venture arm is taking a minority stake in TuSimple. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. TuSimple had previously run a partnership with the United States Postal Service in May, where the startup’s trucks... [Lire la suite]

Artificial Intelligence Enabled IoT: Traffic Congestion Reduction in Smart Cities The world has now entered in a new era of Computing, blessed with many prominent technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). In an IoT world, sensor enabled objects (things) are connected together via the Internet to participate in performing a particular task mainly by sending and receiving data from one to other. Artificial intelligence empowers agents (machines or devices) to perceive the surrounding... [Lire la suite]
